OW Bunker launches second supply vessel in Singapore


Development follows initial trials of its physical operation in June 2013.



OW Bunker, one of the world's largest suppliers and traders of marine fuels and lubricants, today announced the launch of a second supply vessel as part of the company's strategy to further enhance its capacity in its new physical operation in Singapore.

The new 6,963 DWT vessel, An Hong [pictured], was built in December 2011, and will provide customers with a full range of quality products.

An Hong has a capacity of 6,100 metric tonnes, and fast pumping rates of up to 1000 cubic metres per hour to ensure customers receive a quick turnaround and an efficient service.

Commenting on the news, Paul Bradshaw, General Manager, OW Bunker Asia, said: "We are pleased to be expanding our physical operation, which is testament to the positive response we have received from customers, who are looking for a high value fuel supply service in the market.

"This means providing them with not just the best quality products, but efficiencies throughout the entire bunkering operation. From simplifying the ordering process, and helping customers to implement the most appropriate fuel procurement strategy, through to ensuring a fast turnaround time at the final delivery."

OW Bunker announced initial trials of its physical operation in June 2013, completing deliveries using its first vessel Nepamora.
